Two weeks ago soccer fans across the planet were hypothesizing all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories for the 2010 World Cup draw. As it turned out, unless you live on Portugal, you don’t have much beef with Sepp Blatter and the rest of his FIFA cronies. (Draw host Charlize Theron gets an understandable pass.)
That said, Friday’s draw for the Round of 16 of the 2009-10 UEFA Champions League might raise a couple eyebrows as a couple of the matchups seem a little, ahem, convenient.
First and foremost is the tantalizing Cheslea/Inter Milan showdown that brings back Jose Mourinho to Stamford Bridge. Was this the luck of the draw? Was it random? Doesn’t matter, expect the hype for this two-leg affair — which doesn’t kick off until Feb. 24 — to reach epic proportions thanks to the cool, calm and collected members of the English press.
